I tl DETROIT; Mich., June 28.— Mrs. Ella Bart- jj lett, one of the few Michiganders maintain- 2 fa ing breeding establishments, furnished the " winner of the Wixom Purse, the best race on _ the Detroit program this afternoon when Zevson, which was foaled at her Bloomfield j Hills Nursery, led J. M. Brooks Blue Cat, J. r * Fred Adams Adams Eve and five others, in-! " eluding Old Pappy, slight favorite, over Zevson, to the end of the six furlongs sprint t f that served as the sixth event. of During the first half mile when Dark j, . Zeni, Old Pappy and Blue Cat were showing 1 the way, it appeared a hopeless task for the Bartlett three-year-old, which had made up ? j little ground and was leading only Mannie. 0 Turning into the stretch, Lee Hardy, who to started his double with Empress Wu, drove e the winner forward and, taking command in n * the last sixteenth, reached the finish slightly v more than a length before Blue Cat, which . led Adams Eve by a half length for second. Old Pappy was the big disappointment. t z" second start of his ca- the He was making ," f reer, the first having proven an easy vie- V tory, but he quit rapidly after holding sec- ond place for three-eighths. % Summer-like weather prevailed for the sport, which was given over to performers .g from the plater division. Favorites had one ie of their worst days of the meeting, but in n several instances the winners should not jt . have been held in such light esteem. This is . was particularly true of the three-quarters sprint that served as the fifth, when Walter " Ridenours Lanier rewarded at odds better than 11 to 1, despite a victory in his last ,t race. He reached the end of the sprint .jT three and a half lengths before I Pass, which !h came from far back to lead Fortunate Youth by a length for second. , Ridgeview was the offending favorite. She was permitted to drop far out of contention 5 j during the first quarter and showed little thereafter. . " .. ,. |j After Grace Bunting and Fortunate Youth showed the way out of the back stretch, 2 1 Frank Mauro drove Lanier to the front, and from there on he drew away from his opponents. r* I Pass improved his position steadily X to pass the faltering leaders in the last eighth. -. „ m The opening race, which attracted twelve ve maiden two-year-olds, resulted in a nose s® finish and brought forth a stormy protest 31 from the good-sized gathering when Mrs. r3 Silas B. Masons improved Time to Go was as awarded the winners portion. Hennessey, W which made his own pace throughout, ap-3- P- peared to have lasted, but was given the second award. Mottled was third, a length - back of Hennessey and a neck before Sun an Asia, which was forced to lose ground from im the start of the five furlongs dash. Hen-d n- nessey was a 6 to 5 choice, with the winner er returning .40 for each straight. The biggest surprise of the afternoon came ne with the second race, for plater sprinters, rs, when the Imperial Farms Imperial Bunty ty was a driving winner. Commandman, which ch absorbed most of the support, was second, ■ a a half length back of the winner and a nose •se before Ted Conard, which came from far ar back to earn minor honors, Never far back of the pacemaking Corns m" mandman and benefited when Tabaku quit ■"t j 1 badly in the drive, the winner charged on-d ,n" I ward to be drawing away at the end. She he , • returned 04.20 for each straight, I Form players took another drubbing when en j the heavily supported Burning Billows failed ei to find a place among the placed trio a* at the end of the third race that went to I. J- J. Collins Empress Wu. The lightly regarded ei Gretna B. was second and Maple Sue third. rd. Burning Billows was never able to reach .a a contending position, finishing the sprint in m fifth place. Two-year-olds from the lowly plater ranks ks met at five and a half furlongs for the fourth race and it resulted in the first popu-w. u" lar score of the afternoon, when R. Ryans ns Bereit was an easy winner. Second went to t° Roxana S. with Dasaki third. Working her ier way forward steadily while Imperial Maryan an and Roxana S. were showing the way to the be | I stretch, the winner drove through the middle die I ! of the field to be two lengths in the van of °f Roxana S. at the end. Dasaki came from mxi far back to head the tiring San Rafael for for minor honors. Rhythmical stumbled shortly tly after reaching the final furlong and un-in ■** seated Karl Horvath. The lad escaped uninjured.
